The order in which we are born has a powerful, far-reaching influence on the way we interact with others—at home, at work, with friends, and in the public square. Dr. Kevin Leman's classic book on birth order is getting a new look, bringing his engaging, fascinating, and often funny observations to a new audience. With insight and wit, Dr. Leman shows readers how birth order affects personality, marriage and relationships, parenting style, career, and children.
